It doesn’t matter how long it’s been – coping with the death of a loved one is especially challenging during the holiday season when expectations for celebration are high. Mt. Evans Home Health and Hospice is holding a free workshop called “Honoring the Empty Chair,” in which bereaved adults learn and share ideas on dealing with the loss of a family member or friend.

The workshop will be offered twice this holiday season: Wednesday, Nov. 20 from 1-2:30 p.m. and Monday, Dec. 2 from 6-7:30 p.m.. Mt. Evans bereavement counselor Christy McLaughlin will lead the meetings, which will feature discussions about coping strategies and support resources. Light refreshments will be served.

Both sessions will be held at the Mt. Evans offices, 3081 Bergen Peak Drive, Evergreen. Reservations are recommended. For more information, or to reserve a space, call Mt. Evans at 303-674-6400 or email dschwartz@mtevans.org.
